Fiesta Style Scallops
We haven't tried this yet, but i wanted to post it for zwt8. I don't often find low-fat southwestern recipes, so i was excited to find this. Prep time includes cooking rice.
Steps
Pat scallops dry.
Combine cumin , chili and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Toss scallops in spice mix.
Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat.
When oil is hot , add scallops.
Cook for 2 minutes per side , undisturbed.
While scallops are cooking , combine hot rice with chopped cilantro , diced tomato , and jalapeno.
Drizzle with lime juice and toss.
Serve scallops atop rice and garnish with cilantro if desired.
